Verdict

SURE THING (1) is an ex-Victorian gelding who was last seen finishing third at Bairnsdale in the spring. He will be stronger this year and meets a very average field here. A good draw will ensure that he will have plenty of admirers fresh up. Watch closely. ESSENTIALLY (8) ran out of puff after setting the pace in his first local start on the track. She will be much fitter third up and may try and take them all the way this time. AWEEMAWAY (3) showed some ability last year and would have matured over his break. He has had a tune-up trial and is worth each-way consideration in a field like this. GEM'S MAN (2) has been trying to win a race for a long time and had his chance when finishing fourth here last week over 1200m. The drop back to 1100m could be the key and he should be included in all multiples. ROSAY ALLDAY (11) showed pace last start over 1300m but stopped quickly. She has a furlong less to travel this time and may not be the worst for a top 4 placing.

First-up. Finished off last campaign 11th of 13 at Bunbury Mdn September 12 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Cosmic Eclipse with 56kg at $26. When resuming last campaign fourth of 10 at Northam Mdn June 27 over 1100m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Kraken Time with 56kg at $7.50. This looks a stern test.

Third-up today. Resuming 7th of 11 at Ascot Mdn on December 18 over 1000m, 6 len behind Shmoov Moova with 56kg at $61. Last start led to the turn then faded 5th of 7 at this track Mdn on January 18 over 1100m, 3 len behind Favaios carrying 56kg at $8. Can improve. Capable of sharp improvement.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 7 at Pinjarra Scarpside 3yo Mdn on December 26 over 1000m, 10 len behind Promising carrying 55kg at $19. Last start 7th of 10 at this track Mdn on January 18 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Rum 'N' Ginger with 52.5kg at $6. Racing well. Terrific chance to return to form.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track Mdn on January 25 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Demetrious with 58kg at $12. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn on January 18 over 1300m, head behind Rum 'N' Ginger with 58kg at $7.50. Thereabouts last time out. Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form.
